Highly recommend!

I needed a lawyer recently and got referred to Sicat Law. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer than Jocelyn. She was always available to answer my questions, even on the weekends. If she wasn't available right away, she got back to me in a very reasonable amount of time or had one of her assistants get... back to me to answer my questions. what impressed me the most about Jocelyn is just who she is as a person. From the first minute I spoke with her, she didn't pass any judgement onto me. She listened to my side of the story and truly believed that I had a strong case, and she did everything she could to resolve it. This was a very overwhelming time for me but after she took my case, I got a sudden relief. A lawyer is not an easy thing to find, you have to find one that you're comfortable with, and I feel very comfortable with Jocelyn, and would not only recommend her to anyone in need of legal services, but would go back to her in a heartbeat.

Best Attorney Ever!

I was rear ended and was referred to Jocelyn from a friend and couldn’t be happier with her representation! Jocelyn and her staff were quick to answer any questions and handled everything for me immediately. All of her referrals for doctors and the body shop were amazing too! She definitely went ab...ove and beyond all of my expectations and really made this process seamless and stress free!

Workers Comp case handled smoothly and professionally

I struggled to decide to pursue a lawsuit while a cried my eyes out at my doctors office who is not able to assist me further because she is not a worker’s comp doctor. I had a hard time getting appointments to get my care so I was referred to Attorney Sicat and as I was talking and relaying my stor...y, I was balling in tears again as the person on the other side of the phone attempted to console me. Atty. Sicat and her staff specifically Annabelle were so accommodating, patient and kind as they listened to my frustrations. Annabelle follows through with me every month and guided me through the process and was able to get me appointments to get treated and Atty. Sicat was so thorough and made me feel like she has my back. Those challenging times when I was in pain, in sorrow and felt all alone Atty Sicat and Annabelle made me feel welcome and embraced. I wouldn’t have known what to do or how to go about my situation and they guided me . I highly recommend Atty. Sicat and her staff for handling my case professionally and for fighting for me and for handling my case smoothly and closing my case in a timely manner.

Couldn’t ask for better l!

I met Jocelyn in 2014 when she came to my dealership to purchase a new vehicle. She was really friendly and professional ,and when she told me she was a lawyer i asked For her business card because you never know when you might need one. Fortunately but unfortunately 6 years later, the time came fo...r me to use her card and give her a call . When i called Her i was Shocked because she remembered who i was! She Remembered all the conversations we had about family and everything, it felt like i was Hiring a friend, someone who actually cared instead of a random person who would treat me like I’m just the next case that needed to be handled.. During my whole case she kept me informed every step of the way, even set up all my doctors appointments so all i had To do was show up! After my case was settled i couldn’t believe the results. It was so quick and pleasant to work with her i already Recommend all my friends. I wish I could Give her 8 stars thank you so much Jocelyn! You’re amazing work will never go Unnoticed! Take it from a happy client ... YOU WON’T REGRET IT! Thanks again .

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
